<!-- Checkstyle configuration for Vaadin that is based on the the sun coding
	conventions from:
	- the Java Language Specification at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/index.html
	- the Sun Code Conventions at http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/
	- the Javadoc guidelines at http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingdoccomments/index.html
	- the JDK Api documentation http://java.sun.com/j2se/docs/api/index.html
	- some best practices Vaadin specific changes:
	- Removed DoubleCheckedLocking because it doesn't work in CheckStyle 5.6
	-> http://www.smartics.eu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=593
	- Modified HiddenField Check to allow field shadowing on Constructor, Setter
	and Abstract Method parameters.
	- Modified StaticVariableName Check format for PUBLIC variables from ^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$
	to ^[A-Z_]*$ . Others (protected, package and private) still have ^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$
	- Modified the severity of the following Checks from error to info:
	• JavadocPackage (checks for package-info.java)
	• JavadocType (class and interface declarations, scope private)
	• JavadocMethod (method declarations, scope private)
	• JavadocVariable (variable declarations, scope private)
	• JavadocStyle (Javadocs are "well formed")
	- Modified the severity of the following Checks from error to warning because
	not so critical:
	• LineLenght (the default value is 80 which is also used in formatter, but
	i.e. member declarations are not wrapped onto next line)
	• RedundantModifier (i.e. using public in interface method declarations)
	• RedundantThrows (causes unnecessary fails when can't get class information)
	• MethodLength (default maxLength is 150)
	• ParameterNumber (default maxLength is 7)
	• EmptyBlock (if-else statements have some blocks if x -> no action)
	• UpperEll (should use L instead of l with long)
	• TodoComment (not serious)
	• WhitespaceAroundCheck (expects whitespace around some operators)
	NOTE other checks are also warning but should be error.
	- Modified the severity of the following Checks from error to ignore:
	• FinalParameters (method parameters can be modified)
	• VisibilityModifier (i.e. in state classes public members are allowed)
	• DesignForExtension (this design is not used)
	• FileLength (bad design to have files with over 2000 lines? see VScrollTable)
	• MagicNumber (MagicNumbers like error codes are used, but could just ignore
	this in some classes)
	• AvoidInlineConditionals ( you like these ? ignore : error ) -->
